The series Strangers was influenced strongly both by cabinet portraits and some pictures which I saw on the gravestones in Austria and southern Germany, when I was a teenager. Some of the images on the gravestones were old and weather – sun and rain, warm summer days and windy cold winter days – had worn some images and changed them to just a coloured surface with just a hint that there was once an image of a person. But in some of the pictures there were only something very little things changed: to my mind the nature had created them some extra buttons, wings and horns – but their gaze was still the original and I could almost hear the person behind the images.

It’s propably clear without saying, that I’ve got inspiration also from the world of science fiction.

There is a small, framed unique version of each portrait. Small prints will be only sold framed and they are on sale only in exhibitions.
